This party will give you flashbacks of your childhood- but in beautiful pinks and pastels!  I love what Jess, of Party Box Design, put together for her daughter’s 5th birthday party!  Remembering days spent on the New Jersey Boardwalk, Jess channeled all of the fun of those times and turned it into a day to remember for her little girl.  I love the fabulous birthday party ideas that fit perfectly into a Carnival theme~ or County Fair or Amusement Park, or an oceanside Boardwalk! Hop on for a nostalgic ride at this fabulous party!

The most eye-cathching ride of all at any Boardwalk or County Fair has to be the Ferris Wheel!  These darling cookies shown above are just perfect!  They conjure up fun in every bite! Jess used one of the cookies for the cake (a simple white cake that she purchased at the grocery store) and then added salt water taffy around the edges! 

Jess used fondant, taffy toppers for the cupcakes, too!  They are adorable on top of the cupcakes!  

And, what’s a trip to an amusement park without popcorn?  The colorful boxes make this extra-special and fun!

Jess did such a great job of putting together the dessert table- it looks like each treat is a prize to receive!

The drink station was pretty special, too! 

Snow Cones are pretty much a staple at fairs and parks- how fun to get to make your own at the party!

The Birthday Girl seemed to be enjoying herself!  She also treated all of her guests to cute favor boxes filled with treats to thank them for sharing her exciting day with her!

What a fabulous day!  Thank you to Party Box Design for sharing all of the fun details with us!  This theme is just perfect for lots of birthday party ideas~ from a carnival to a boardwalk, these ideas will thrill all of the guests!

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time!  My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun!  Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes!  For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor!  So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child! 

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party!  For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style!  So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan!  It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN!  Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”. 

Birthday Party Ideas for a Teen- How to Celebrate a TEEN

Wow! My daughter turned into a teen!  Sometimes it can be tricky to decide what to do to celebrate this milestone.  I wanted to share with you some ideas that may help if you want to mark the occasion but also keep it low-key.  At first, my daughter wanted to have a very large sleepover to celebrate.  I loved it that she wanted to include everyone she knew, but laughed at the thought of trying to corral close to 30 tweens and teens! So, I told her she could have a little, bitty, teeny sleepover and her “real” party could be bubble soccer (which she had been begging to do at this huge sleepover she was planning ).  So, realizing the play on words with a “teeny” party, we went with the TEENY theme and used as many miniature things as we could.  It was such a fun theme and the ideas could go on forever…but this is what we decided on for her teeny, little sleepover.
